Factors influencing target refraction in children with pseudophakia after extraction of congenital cataract

Abstract

The article describes the factors affecting the target refraction of pseudophakic eyes of children after extraction of congenital cataracts. The factors include features of the echobiometric parameters of the eye, refraction, comorbidity of congenital cataracts and ocular pathologies, margins of error in calculating strength of the intraocular lens, localization and structure of the artificial lens, as well as correction of obscure or refractive amblyopia in pseudophakic eyes. Development of the algorithm for correction of residual refraction of pseudophakic eyes in children both before and after IOL implantation with consideration of each of those factors currently remains a relevant problem.
